Are yogurt parfaits healthy?
Yes, for the most part they are healthy. Plain and Greek yogurt are low in calories. If you choose a flavored yogurt it can add a few calories. Also, the type of granola you choose can make a difference in fat and calories.

Can they be made ahead of time?
Yes, these parfaits can be made a day or two ahead of time. The key is to layer yogurt and fruit and then seal them in airtight container like a Mason jar. When ready to eat, add the granola.

What type of yogurt is best to use for parfaits?
You can use Greek, plain, flavored or your favorite dairy-free yogurt. I really enjoy Greek yogurt because it’s thick and creamy and has a little extra protein.

These couldn’t be easier to assemble. They are also fun for the kids to help make for a kid-friendly, healthy snack!

Notes

• Recipe tips:
• Does granola get soggy in yogurt? If you are making these to eat later, I would recommend not adding the granola until ready to eat. The granola will get soggy if left overnight.
• Frozen berries. You can use frozen berries, just be sure to let them thaw before adding to the parfait so the excess water doesn’t make it soggy.
